When students cannot express themselves
clearly in English, participation drops confidence declines learning opportunities are lost

ELSA Schools is an AI-powered English learning platform designed for K-12 Education (5-16 years old). Teachers can turn existing teaching materials—whether it's a list of vocabulary, sentences from a textbook, or a reading passage—into interactive pronunciation lessons which match the classroom curriculum. ELSA Schools makes it easy for teachers to monitor performance of students across different assignments.

ELSA Schools doesn’t use the Speak App (available through the Android and iOS App Stores). Instead, learners interact with ELSA’s service through a web-based Student App (which is specifically designed for students & classroom learning).

ELSA Schools is built to adapt to the constantly evolving lessons in the classroom. It supports schools in delivering their existing curriculum while helping students develop clear and effective communication skills. In contrast, ELSA Business is designed for working adults, university students, and professionals, offering more advanced scenarios and workplace-focused content.

ELSA Schools is designed specifically for K–12 education, with an interface and learning experience tailored to younger learners and classroom-based instruction. For University students, ELSA Business is a better fit, as it supports more advanced learning scenarios and complex language use aligned with academic and professional contexts.

Students can access ELSA Schools through a web browser on mobile devices and computers. It is not available as a mobile application.

Yes, teachers can create lessons in ELSA Schools in two ways using the Content Creator. They can build study sets or read-aloud exercises based on materials from their existing textbooks, or go beyond the textbook by using AI to generate new, original learning materials simply by providing a prompt. The interactive pronunciation lessons are then delivered as Assignments to the Student App where the students practice lesson material.

ELSA supports multiple display languages, so students can see instructions in their native language while learning English. This is particularly helpful for beginner-level students who may not be comfortable with English-only interfaces.

After purchasing licenses and setting up your organization in the ELSA Schools Admin Dashboard, you activate licenses by inviting teachers and students via email through the dashboard. Unassigned licenses auto-activate two weeks after purchase. Though you can still assign them later, the subscription period starts on the auto-activation date. Assigning licenses beyond two weeks will reduce the learner's total study time.

Teachers have access to a comprehensive dashboard where they can view individual student performance, class-level insights, assignment completion rates, and detailed progress reports. The dashboard shows pronunciation scores, time spent practicing, skill development across different areas, and engagement metrics.

Yes, parents can be given access to the dashboard with view-only permissions. They can see their child's learning progress, time spent practicing, and skill development, but cannot access other students' information.

Yes. The ELSA Proficiency Score (EPS) is our internal metric that measures speaking performance across five key areas: Pronunciation, Intonation, Fluency, Grammar, and Vocabulary. The EPS is directly correlated and mapped to the international standard CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), as well as IELTS speaking bands. We also indirectly map scores to other tests such as TOEIC, EIKEN, and GEPT.

Yes, we offer trial periods for schools to test the platform. Typically, we provide 5-10 trial accounts for 14 days so teachers and select students can experience the full functionality before making a purchase decision.

The minimum package for the ELSA Speak School Plan is 21 student licenses. This includes unlimited admin and teacher accounts, so only student accounts count toward the license total.

Contracts require a minimum commitment of 12 months.

Contract cancellation requires a minimum of 30 days' notice prior to the contract expiry date. The plan will not be renewed, and you will not be billed for the subsequent licensing period. However, access to the ELSA Schools Admin Dashboard and the existing licenses will remain available until the conclusion of the current subscription period.

Look for a tool that lets every student speak in the same lesson, not one at a time. In ELSA Schools, students practise assigned vocabulary, read aloud, hold conversations with an AI partner using lesson vocabulary, and speak on any topic. Each attempt gets instant feedback, so students know what to fix while the teacher stays focused on teaching.

AI speaking tools let students practise aloud and get feedback without waiting for the teacher. In ELSA Schools, teachers turn their own vocabulary lists, textbook sentences or reading passages into speaking lessons, or create them with AI, and assign them to the class. Teachers then see progress for each student and for the whole class on one dashboard.

A school needs a score for each speaking attempt and a way to see results across classes. ELSA Schools scores each attempt on pronunciation and delivery. Open speaking tasks get a score for pronunciation, intonation, fluency, vocabulary and grammar. Teachers and administrators see student and class progress on a dashboard, and progress reports can be shared with parents and school leadership.
